Playing at Jazz Poetry Events in Waterstones Book Shop, and in a Cathedral were amazing acoustically; playing on a barge, in a hairdressers shop or at Bolton Abbey were challenging but so interesting!! Funeral gigs are sensitively handled and always appreciated when the person had a ‘special favourite song’ which we have played.
Too many to fit into this box!
